North Carolina Delays Third-Party Ballot Access, Potential Boost for Biden

State election board postpones recognition of parties backing RFK Jr. and Cornel West, citing need for further review.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections voted 3-2 to delay certifying three new political parties.
The decision affects the We the People Party, Justice for All Party, and Constitution Party.
Democratic board members requested more analysis of the groups' petition processes.
Republican board members and the state GOP criticized the move as politically motivated.
The delay could reduce competition in the presidential race, potentially benefiting Joe Biden.
